Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow squash
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
Chop the red and green bell peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, and red onion into roughly 1-inch pieces.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, tossing to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Thread pieces of chicken, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes onto each skewer, alternating between vegetables and meat.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of your choice, like brown rice or a fresh salad.
